Rust players who step out of line in The Compound, a new "safe-zone" location packed with scientists, will be sorry when they are taken down by special turrets that shoot first and...never ask questions. The zealous nature of the turrets offers players a truly safe place to interact with others to trade, form parties and to get access to special vending machines that dispense clothes, tools, building supplies, traps and more.
